Hello Kay,

I don't know -- maybe it's on the www.crazysexycancer.com site? I

thought it would perhaps be inspiring for you to check it out even

if you do not share the same type of cancer.

Hi again Kay,

I'm sure that if you have any questions, people here would be more

than happy to help you figure them out. That site looks really

great after I browsed it. She never says what type of cancer she

had, but it was inspiring all the same.

When I started macrobiotics, I didn't understanding yin and yang

either (found it completely overwhelming). For me, taking classes,

finding a counselor, and connecting with other people made it fun.

Perhaps if you addressed things like lifestyle in general as well as

diet in general, then you could later fine tune? If you're coming

from the standard american diet, but move more towards a whole foods

diet consisting of grains, vegetables, sea vegetables, fruits, nuts,

seeds, beans and bean products, I think this can make a dramatic

difference.

If you're able to travel, the Kushi Institute Summer Conference

starts soon and there will be many many counselors there on hand to

help people and 3 meals are served daily.

http://www.kushiinstitute.org/html/summer_conference.html

Let us know how we can help you!

beautiful

person. Can't wait to see the film!

Hi Kay,

Lots of books are available through the public library. You can

always try them out and see how you like them, and if one strikes you,

you can purchase it.

As my starter book, I absolutely fell in love with The Self Healing

Cookbook by a . It was totally unpretentious, down to

earth, easy to understand, and fun to use. If you start with the

basics, you can branch out later on. Basics would be things like

brown rice, steamed and blanched vegetables, pressed salads, beans,

mildly seasoned miso soup, etc.

The books you mentioned (Michio Kushi's book about cancer and

Aveline's cookbook) are great!! One of Michio's books about cancer

details all the specific types of cancer, the cause, and home

remedies. That might be very interesting for you. Aveline's book has

wonderful anecdotes about her childhood and experiences moving to the

United States. It's wonderful.

I forget where you said you are in TX, but taking classes would speed

the process up tremendously and connecting with other people in the

class is a huge part of the fun.

Where are you lost? What is frustrating you? Other people are sure

to be feeling (or have felt) the exact same way as you.

Do what you can for now! It will get better and better every day.

Keep your faith.

Small world Reggie. The movie looks super fantastic. I'm looking

forward to seeing it too. I looks like it emphasizes the positive,

and that gives me a good feeling. It will be neat to see it and know

she is your friend.

Hi Kay and anyone else new to mb, Reggie, you were right that I should have started a file - a kind of intro to mb for those just beginning. I procrastinated and now not sure which post that was. As Reggie said, there are NO stupid, silly questions - otoh, there are questions that do repeat themselves and it's a pity not to have the answers all in one place. Anyone else feel like doing it?? As for books, I also had for my first book a's Self-healing given to me by a wonderful grandmother who had it as her first book and also loved it. But please know, we are all individuals and THAT is the basics of mb - for me that book wasn't my cup of tea - a tries very hard for YOU to discover for YOURSELF, to experiment and discern, to see how you respond. In the long run, that is the macro way, but for me as a beginner, I wanted clear rules (which really isn't macro, but

seems to me lots of beginners want that), what can you eat, what can't you - that isn't the way macro works, but that is the way the world we came from works, so it takes quite a while for adjusting to a different mindset. My absolutely favorite book is the Hipchick's Guide to Mb - also because she really does cover all the basics, but mostly because she is funny and real, and honest and gives her first impressions about how crazy all this mb stuff seemed. I didn't think mb was that crazy, I came from Fit For Life, and anyway, was kind of a rebellion towards lots of things, but I could laugh at what she wrote. If you go to 's site and check out what books he has, there's descriptions, see what appeals to you. I'm totally in agreement with re taking classes, but I know that lots of people new to mb write in saying they're quite isolated and have no idea if there are other

mb people, let alone teachers nearby. And perhaps they can't afford to travel to get to where there are classes or camps. To all of them I suggest going to the closest health food store, and if that doesn't exist, any place where notices can be put up and ask!!!! if there are others interested or if there is any one teaching. I remember finding out about the support group in LA because of a notice in Erewhon's and was so grateful to find them. This is a very active discussion group, but check out the links, there are lots of good mb sites with very infomative articles written by excellent teachers. , forgive me, but your list of basics might be basic for you, but I'm wondering if not too much for a real beginner. I remember my first mb class - and was told, a bean, a green and a grain - of course, that's super simple, but was easy to remember and got me started. Since then of course I learned to have lots

more vegetables than just one, to have much less beans than I used to and mix it with vegetables (which doesn't count as a vegetable dish, still need more vegetables) and to vary my grains - even have a mixed grain dish (mix with other grains or with vegetables or with beans) - The best advice I think is to go slow!!!! (unless you have a serious illness, in which case finding a good counselor is one of the best investments you can make) Start by foods that are familiar and tweaking them to be more healthy - substitute whole everything for all the old white everythings - rice, noodles, flour, etc. If you're still doing meat or cheese, lessen them as much as you can. Ditto with sodas, coffee, all those other goodies that don't help the body. The more you substitute good stuff, the easier it is to let go of the old habits. Also, at the beginning, don't try to do it all - if there's ready gomasio, or seitan or any

other great mb dishes, go for it (unless you're a great cook and love the challenge of all at once). Don't throw away something if it didn't come out right - and don't give up - sometimes adding a condiment will make a world of difference - sometimes just adding sauteed onions will make a world of difference. But don't drown everything in soy sauce because the food doesn't taste good - I don't think I'm the only one who did that at the beginning. And last but most important - be totally there when you cook - don't talk on the phone, go off to the computer, let your mind wander - the more you focus and put all of yourself into the cooking, the more you'll make progress. Ditto with eating/chewing. Make sure you give yourself the time you need. ok, Reggie, I'll go put this into the files. (and maybe, no promises, look for that other post) Klaraleslieanneashburn

Hi Kay and anyone else new to mb, Reggie, you were right that I should have started a file - a kind of intro to mb for those just beginning. I procrastinated and now not sure which post that was. As Reggie said, there are NO stupid, silly questions - otoh, there are questions that do repeat themselves and it's a pity not to have the answers all in one place. Anyone else feel like doing it?? As for books, I also had for my first book a's Self-healing given to me by a wonderful grandmother who had it as her first book and also loved it. But please know, we are all individuals and THAT is the basics of mb - for me that book wasn't my cup of tea - a tries very hard for YOU to discover for YOURSELF, to experiment and discern, to see how you respond. In the long run, that is the macro way, but for me as a beginner, I wanted clear rules (which really isn't macro, but

seems to me lots of beginners want that), what can you eat, what can't you - that isn't the way macro works, but that is the way the world we came from works, so it takes quite a while for adjusting to a different mindset. My absolutely favorite book is the Hipchick's Guide to Mb - also because she really does cover all the basics, but mostly because she is funny and real, and honest and gives her first impressions about how crazy all this mb stuff seemed. I didn't think mb was that crazy, I came from Fit For Life, and anyway, was kind of a rebellion towards lots of things, but I could laugh at what she wrote. If you go to 's site and check out what books he has, there's descriptions, see what appeals to you. I'm totally in agreement with re taking classes, but I know that lots of people new to mb write in saying they're quite isolated and have no idea if there are other

mb people, let alone teachers nearby. And perhaps they can't afford to travel to get to where there are classes or camps. To all of them I suggest going to the closest health food store, and if that doesn't exist, any place where notices can be put up and ask!!!! if there are others interested or if there is any one teaching. I remember finding out about the support group in LA because of a notice in Erewhon's and was so grateful to find them.
